Abstract:
Moisture and malodor control systems are disclosed. These systems provide moisture control and the sustained delivery of active volatile compounds for imparting fragrance and controlling malodor within innumerable objects and spaces, such as shoes, gloves, closets, etc. The systems utilize a novel combination of active volatiles contained within a diluent carrier and solid adsorbing compound. In some embodiments, increased release of active volatiles is triggered by the presence of moisture in the target environment. The systems of the invention may further include an accessory component for providing fragrance to the target environment and/or an accessory component for absorbing and removing malodorous compounds from the target environment.
Abstract:
Arrays of spin-valve elements that can be selectively activated to trap, hold, manipulate and release magnetically tagged biological and chemical particles, including molecules and polymers. The spin-valve elements that can be selectively activated and deactivated by applying a momentary applied magnetic field thereto. The spin valve element array can be used for selectively sorting and transporting magnetic particles one particle at a time within the array. As the magnetically tagged particles are held by the spin-valve elements, application of an auxiliary magnetic field can be used to apply tension or torsion to the held particles or to move, e.g. rotate, the trapped particles. The arrays of spin-valve elements can be used in a variety of applications including drug screening, nucleic acid sequencing, structural control and analysis of RNA/DNA and proteins, medical diagnosis, and magnetic particle susceptibility and size homogenization for other medical applications.
